Pages 267-270 | Received 24 Oct 1984, Accepted 24 Apr 1985, Published online: 02 Apr 2007
 

Abstract

It is proven that the matrices AB and BA formed from the product a positive definite self-adjoint matrix A and a self-adjoint matrix B has real eigenvalues and a complete set of eigenvectors. If B is positive (negative) semidefinite the eigenvalues are greater (less) than or equal to zero. These properties have been useful in the analysis of multicomponent diffusion and distillation processes.
